Instructions
 
For the cookie dough:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to stir together the butter, sugars, milk and vanilla.
  2. Stir in the dry ingredients and the chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the cookie dough is firm.
  3. Scoop out dough in 2 tablespoon scoops and place it on a cookie sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
For the cupcake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cupcake/muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1¼ cups cake flour (or Canadian flour), 1¼ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt. Set flour mix aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 2 eggs with the whisk attachment on medium speed (15-20 seconds).
  3. Add ¾ cup sugar and continue to beat on medium speed (30 seconds). Add vanilla and oil and beat on medium speed (1 minute)
  4. Reduce mixer speed to medium/low and slowly add about half of the flour mixture. Add half of the buttermilk, then the rest of the flour mix and the rest of the milk. Beat until just combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl. The batter should be thin.
  5. Divide batter into a lined muffin pan. Fill to about 3/4 full.
  6. Drop a ball of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough into the center of each cupcake. If you have batter left over, pour it on top of the cupcake to cover the cookie dough.
  7. Bake for 14-18 minutes at 350°F or  until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake portion of the cupcake (not tested through the center where the dough is), comes out fairly clean.  Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes (wait for the cookie dough in the center to solidify a bit), then remove. Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting.
For the frosting:
  1. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Mix in the flour, milk and vanilla and continue to mix until all is well combined.
  2. Assemble: Frost cupcakes with a knife or scoop the frosting into a piping bag and pipe it on decoratively. Sprinkle mini chips on top and garnish with a small chocolate chip cookie.
